much better this time around
Thanks!

I tried to simulate peace on Earth.
you're the best of us. How'd it do? Can you share it?

We used to do 3D virtual world work, and though I like where you're going with this, I think loading hi-res tiles, for your use-case, is not the right approach.
The direction we were trying to move with https://ayvri.com back in 2018 was to model the world from low-res imagery, and render higher-resolution views. At the time, the AI tech wasn't ready, but I think you can do this now. You don't need a prefect replica of the world, you want a convincing replica, so when you're drawing Tokyo, the architecture and elements in the scene match what would be expected.
Ayvri is impressive, and thanks for the feedback - I hear what you're saying about the convincing replica

I like the idea, but it's really glitchy and borderline epilepsy-inducing
Updated -- the geocoding was moving the map around too quickly

Prompt box does not show on mobile. I'm using brave on Android. Even when I request the desktop site it does not show it. But when I use brave on Mac it does show it.
This was a confusing landing for me on a mobile device.
Thanks, this should be updated for a better landing on mobile

Incredibly brave of you to post something like this here. How are you monitoring and managing cost/token usage?
Thanks! The worst is the elevation API -- but yes, I monitored costs throughout today, it's not prohibitively expensive.

Hey defaulting to 2D map temporarily! 3d will work shortly
Okay back online in 3d

Asking for a quota increase with support! Will build in bring-your-own-key
Okay back online in 3d too!
I was working on world models / generative environments but without the training data available as an independent researcher, ended up focusing on building with existing geospatial data.
The same architecture of the '24 Genie paper's dynamics model is instead trained on historical data for risk analysis and creating a heatmap in the 2d map. I'll try to adapt this for a more generalizable urban mobility model as well.
